Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Aerial imagery was collected by an unmanned aerial system (UAS) at Great Marsh, Barnstable, MA August 6 and 7th, 2018. This collection was acquired to explore the UAS potential for mapping marsh ecological systems, vegetation diversity, and creating high resolution elevation maps. 4668 Ricoh GRII photos (25.2 GB) were collected along with 32,600 mica photos (56.2 GB), 24 GCPs
